Putting it to the test

The Web structure is complete, most of the Flash elements are working properly and all the stories are finished, edited and posted on the Web site. All we are missing from the site is a large chunk of multimedia content.

Unfortunately, multimedia comprises about half of the Web site so there are a lot of holes. We are waiting on all of the videos and photo slideshows to be completed so we can upload them to the site.

While we wait on that content we are making sure links work and go to the correct pages and that all the text is spelled correctly. So far, so good.

When we get all the multimedia up on the site there will be a lot more to do. We will have to watch videos and slideshows and make sure things look good and that there aren’t any mistakes. Then we will have to check that they load and play correctly on the site.

So, there is still a lot to finish, but we are close. You can check it out at OIPanama.com, but remember that it is still under construction so we will be making tweaks and changes here and there. Feedback is welcome!

We present the finished project to the entire interactive media class and other school of communication faculty members Tuesday afternoon.
